And a stunning upset of Florida in the first round of the 2004 Big Dance.

What wasn’t on his lengthy resume was a win over rival Iona in New Rochelle.

Six swings. Six misses.

Until last night.

Arturo Dubois had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and C.J. Anderson had 19 and six as the streaking Jaspers won their seventh straight, an 87-68 decision over Iona in front of a standing-room crowd of 2,883 at the Hynes Center.

“I’m a law-of-averages guy, and eventually, I thought, I was going to get a win over here,” Gonzalez said. “But the credit goes to the kids, not me. I thought we’d have a chance to win. I didn’t think we’d have a chance to win pulling away.”

The Jaspers (7-4, 3-0 MAAC), who tied St. Peter’s (7-5, 3-0) for first place, never trailed, and opened the second half on an 8-0 run that gave them a 45-36 lead. Iona got no closer than five the rest of the way.

“This was a statement game,” Anderson said. “But really, for us, we try to make every game a statement game, not just Iona.”

Devon Austin’s layup with 6:43 left gave the Jaspers a 67-55 lead, forced an Iona timeout and finally took the life out of a spirited crowd that seemed, at times, more inspired than the home team.

“There’s not much to say,” said an exasperated Iona coach Jeff Ruland. “We were outplayed in every aspect. They beat our [butts]. Give them credit.”

The Gaels (8-3, 2-1) – playing their third game in seven days – seemed sluggish out of the gate. Steve Burtt, who had a 23.6 scoring average, didn’t record his first field goal until the 10:22 mark of the first. He finished with 14. Iona’s Ricky Soliver led all scorers with 26.

The Jaspers had five players in double figures, including Jeff Xavier (20) and Jason Wingate (12).

* Ruland coached the game nursing three cracked ribs. He suffered the injury Monday night during the Gaels’ trip to Fresno State. Ruland tried to prevent a team broadcaster from tripping while crossing the street, but the coach fell down himself.
